  • Editors’ Note
  • Susan L. Abrams

The Johns Hopkins University Press is making all of its journals obtainable by electronic subscription through an endeavor called Project Muse, and we are pleased to announce that the Bulletin is now available on the World Wide Web. Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mellon Foundation, Project Muse offers subscriptions only to institutions; individuals cannot yet subscribe electronically. But anyone at a participating institution can look at the Spring and Summer 1996 issues of the journal in their entirety—and anyone anywhere can look at the Bulletin’s home page ( http://jhupress.jhu.edu/journals/bulletin_of_the_history_of_medicine/) free of charge. On our home page you’ll find subscription rates, names of editorial board members, instructions to authors, and tables of contents for current and previous issues. You’ll also find information about the American Association for the History of Medicine, along with a link to the AAHM’s home page. In addition, Project Muse is offering one issue of each online journal free of charge to the “internetting” public; for the Bulletin, the Press has chosen the Spring 1996 issue.

Our readers and subscribers could have diverse reactions to this news. We’d like to know what you think. Many of your questions may be answered by looking at Project Muse’s home page ( http://muse.jhu.edu). If you don’t have access to the Web, or if your queries go beyond the information offered online, please let us hear from you—by e-mail, fax, phone, or “snail mail.”
